Opinions on HLM seem pretty split, depending on the partner. I agree with this. We pitched them for something in life sciences. Two partners in the room, two very different experiences and responses at the same time in the same room. Not a good clear path forward for us, but a lot depends on the partner (as in every other VC firm on the board).
